Anyone who is a fan of adventure sports or Zoya Akhtar directorial Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara wishes to go skydiving once in their life. After all, life is more exciting with a little adventure. But this video might make you rethink skydiving. The clip is an extreme example of how things can go wrong when you’re expecting a blissful experience. The guys in this video had a once in a lifetime experience, but not in the way you might imagine.
A clip from an incident in 2013 is once again going viral on Twitter. It was shared on the micro-blogging platform on April 12 and has been viewed over a million times so far.
Wondering what’s so special about this clip? It shows how a group of skydivers were preparing for their first dive when the unthinkable happened – their plane collided with another plane carrying another group of skydivers. Look what happened next.
The clip left Twitter users fuming, with many pointing out the absurdity of the incident. One user wrote, “He had the whole sky and still crashed.”

Some said they would never go skydiving again. “This is why I’m not leaving the field,” read one comment.
That is why I am not leaving the ground. — Ani Reddy (@Anireddy24) April 11, 2023
“And this is why I don’t skydive,” commented one account.
And this is why I don’t skydive – dudebro (@soydudebro) April 11, 2023
Some were concerned about the safety of the pilot.
Some joked that the scene was the “best position” for a mid-air collision because the passengers were already about to jump.
To be fair though this is a best case scenario for a mid air collision like they were already out there 😂- NismoHuncho (@NismoHuncho) April 11, 2023
Some said the clip didn’t dampen their enthusiasm for skydiving. I will skydive at least once before I die,” one man promised.
I still skydive at least once before I die – Johnny (@JhonnyWhite69) April 11, 2023
The collision occurred near Lake Superior in the United States, according to a report by the Associated Press. The planes collided at 12,000 feet in the air. Fortunately, none of the skydiver or pilot suffered any major injuries.
Mike Robinson, a skydiving instructor and safety consultant, told the AP the divers were aiming to complete their last jump of the day when the collision occurred. The planes were initially flying in formation and the jump should have been routine.
The skydivers were able to land at the planned location using their parachutes to free themselves from the debris. The pilot of the lead plane, which broke up after hitting the other aircraft, used an emergency parachute to land safely.
